If it came down to me having to defend myself of course I would. Otherwise no. I would not go out on the offensive and target fellow Americans no matter what their political beliefs are. However, if it turns out that we don’t have secure voting in this country, this really is the only option left overall to most Americans. Sad but true. If you can’t vote anymore what’s left? There is no democracy. But I have no desire to go to war.
There is a foreign invasion or the perception of one at the very least. Nobody is taking up arms nor will they. This whole second amendment militia crap is puerile fantasyland. I have in the last year changed my mind in gun control. If you are a poster that would go fight, you are the person I want disarmed at this point.
We know that due to lax laws they know they can run rampant.
We are no longer "tough on crime" or "tough on drugs" and the results are plain to see in the news every single day.

To quote Rudy Giuliani: "It's not that the people ARE less safe, it's that they FEEL less safe!"
That's what it's all about. Scare the people, make 'em feel less safe and you can control their votes ... and also get social media posts like yours as a bonus.
My neighbor has had a flag hanging for months now, declaring that he's ready for civil war. Unfortunately, (or, fortunately for me, if I have to take him down, I guess?) he gets out of breath walking to the end of his driveway.
No, I would not "fight." I do, however, have the ability to protect myself and my family. Not the same thing, though.
So you're telling me that if the shoe were on the other foot and some radical conservative group was banning abortion completely, banning gay marriage, banning books, ending all environmental protection, arresting illegals, etc.. that the left would not consider taking up arms?
Are we counting those pink beanie hats with ears? If not I'm going to go ahead and say no.
